Only tangentially related, but this post made me think about how everyone historically sees the day when Windows stopped being built on top of DOS as an advancement. If that ever happened on Linux, where there was no longer a fully functional base Linux system without graphical system libraries, my entire reality would shatter beneath my feet.

How much fun would it be if each additional R showed you another level down the directory tree though?
Thank you. I've just created a few aliases for ls, lss, lsss, lssss.

You can plug into the command not found handler in bash to make this work infinitely
Left as an exercise to the reader
Oh gods I can't remember if there's a DOS command for that. I've finally forgotten. ^I'm^ ^free^
ls works on Windows just fine. PowerShell understands this command since a long time, maybe even since the very beginning (not looking through the git commits, just to find out).
heck, you're right.
also dir works on linux but it is not as pretty, (i am finding out as we speak)
This meme is pivoting to education bait?
Powershell is starting to become more common. But simple directory listing is actually much faster in cmd as Powershell treats everything as an object while cmd just dumps the contents as text.
Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesn't support ls.
I can tell it's been a while since you used windows π.
Some of us are forced to btw.
Modern "command prompt" on windows is called Terminal and supports both PowerShell and CMD commands.
Terminal is just the tabbed app to open any command line interface.
Oh, man, don't.
Powershell is so less worse, it does not even compare.
Well who uses powershell? Common people open command prompt and it doesnβt support ls.
Windows Terminal is shipped with Windows and defaults to PowerShell. Too bad Windows ships some ancient PS version by default but winget install Microsoft.PowerShell isn't that complicated.
Who is the βcommon personβ listing directory contents via the command line instead of the explorer window?

I don't. Not that this has to be true for others but I use the command line for ping, ipconfig, and winget.
I manage hundreds of windows server VMs as a matter of routine. At that scale the efficiency of the command line wins out.
I remember living in a place with such shitty internet I had scripts for ipconfig release and renew on my desktop because I needed them five times a day.
Hi it is me. When you have 500 files in a folder sometimes
dir Jobnumber_string*.part is faster than using explorer
